Laing from Happy Home - Leandro's

Laing from Happy Home - Leandro's Catering DavaoOh my this Laing from Happy Home (Leandro's Catering) which we had for lunch today did not disappoint TheFoodieMommy and my hubby. It tasted just right for me and the hubby. I was tempted to bring home another order for our dinner but since it has coconut milk and we won't be heading home yet until a few hours after, I decided to just have this again some other time.
They mixed pork in this laing recipe. I wish the cook would be able to share the recipe. This foodie mommy's tummy was really satisfied with the taste of this laing.
Laing is a vegetable dish cooked in coconut milk. It is usually spicy. It is a dish that originated in the Bicol Region where coconut milk is used in most of the local cuisine. It is made from dried taro or gabi leaves and coconut milk. I usually find dried gabi leaves at the Robinsons Supermarket here. I fell in love in laing perhaps becuase I love dishes with gata and I have acquired the fondness for spicy dishes due to my hubby's influence who loves to eat spicy dishes.
I have not eaten this dish while a neighbor we have in my parents' home would usually give this to us. But during the Sooo Pinoy food trip in our own city leg that I was blessed to be a part of, I finally got to try the dish in a few of the restaurants we went to since I have to taste them and that is how I started to eat this dish I somehow avoided before.
I now try to eat laing whenever I see the dish being served. It is kind of like the search for the best laing in town for me now. So far I have tasted a more rich and creamy laing before but this laing was just good for my taste. I enjoyed our simple lunch eating it!
